Where Blood And Fire Bring Rest and Peace

Lies of serpants a river of tears, to think of you is to treasure an absent memorie

your eyes search for me so long i've wanted to come home held back by lies of serpants and tongues of brothers turning a child into an enemy turning open arms into closed fists i could see the reflection in the tears that made their way down your face onto the ground i kneel upon they form a river that overtakes me compassion evelops me i forgive and release forgiven released

when you shut your eyes and fell asleep dark clouds descended on the souls of the ones who held you close to their hearts (and the rain that came gently met your tears they became one and seeped into the earth i watched from a distance and...) my heart broke open (as if to tell them...) the beauty of an embrace a place to lay down the pain where blood and fire bring rest and peace i sit away in a special place the shadow of wings i think of you and my heart breaks open

A fall farewell

in a time of quietness i reflect on childhood memories caught uprising through mm mind falling leaves create the stage words spoken were not cherished on the last day of our friendship and those words were possibly the last what were your thoughts as a dreaming child i awaken to a nightmare after a gentle nudge i find out you're gone the machines that keep you alive were careless did you ask Him to forgive you before you passed on you slipped away into the ground...you broke the vanity...you broke the silence...(i hope you are with Jesus.)

March

my strength fades away slowly with the setting sun the night brought its darkness and its storms and the floods that came reflected a dull moon violet winds raged beneath the stars that didn't shine emptied of myself i fell to the ground slowly throuhg the destruction came a single quiet voice and the breath of His words consumed the night and brought strength i have never felt on my own and He held me up until i could walk again and promised to stay by my side forever

Ember

my sight finally returns only to see my hands covered with the innocent blood of those i stand before as an example and i hold this ember in my heart it's the only warmth i know ember of Your faithfulness ember of Your still small voice ember of embracing arms ember of rebirth to You my King i offer up this ember for the wind of Your Spirit to consume by fire to purge their blood from my hands

Ravage Ritual

turned away by a misrepresentation stained glass and white washed tombs the hearts of those who spoke to you were never homes to the God they tried to show you they spoke out of prejudice and ritualism they themselves were lost angels fold their wings and weep along with us watching you shun Christ's sacrifice

Fifteen rhema

my heart is deceived by my eyes my actions in the name of beauty i'm sickened and strangled by myself that i would allow an unyielding desire to lead me astray put to shame by my lack of trust i confess my faults with tears manifestations of Your grace fill me revelations of forgiveness wounds healed by wounds the Father's mercy peace beyond understanding love from You that i don't deserve i shut my eyes i still my feelings listening with closed eyes i rest in Your guidance trusting You sensing you i listen and hear...abide in Me

For a fair desire

let me not exist for a fair desire sweet and fresh are my expectations of this inner strength that years passionately for the endowment of the Father i show in tears that i later i shall reap in joy each drop that i show will be a time of breaking come Holy Spirit empower your creation through times of breaking come Holy Spirit empower your creation through times of breaking the planting of tears as i am broken your presence growns stronger and i feel You with me upholding me through it all

The latter rain

a ring of haze encircles the enshrouded truth within another seal is broken as the heavens prepare to break forth in fulfillment a blanket of deception is layered on sacred writings which contain the thoughts of teh One who is Almight God a sword unsheathed is drawn bringing legions og\f demons to their kness by the knowledge of a covenant prepared before the earth itself still so many choose to warm themselves beneath deception as the end draws near and history closes i pray the winds and the rain of taht which is latter will bring clarity and understanding of Your infallible Word let the lack of knowledge be lifted off Your people
